How to maximize wallpaper on android
Hello ,
to maximise wallpaper on android actually it totally depend o n which type
device you use, your screen can be a huge battery consumer. Looking under your settings at ‘battery use’ gives you a breakdown of the biggest battery consumers. On my phone, the display is always number one, so I set it to automatic brightness, which works much better than using manual brightness settings via the Android Power Control widget .
Thank you,

try app "wallpaper plus"

OP, your Wallpaper needs to be 960x800, (providing your device is the usual resolution), to avoid the issues you are having.
I'm assuming up to now you've been trying to set one that is 480x800? The extra width is to take into account the Homescreens scrolling from side to side.
Hope that helps.

"Superwall Lite" will set any wallpaper without cropping, and scroll accordingly if needed. It is a live wallpaper, but it won't eat your battery the way most do because it's just showing an image.
I know that the original post was a while back, but just in case anyone else is curious. The app is especially good for using a vertical image, but you can also use really long images and the screens will move as such.

Download andWobble2 as well as the live wallpaper add on for said program. You can use any picture with it, just select the one you want to use, load it, save it and use the live wallpaper to use that picture as your wallpaper. The weird android resizing won't take effect.

I'm using Wallpaper SlideShow, doesn't need to crop or resize image.

What do you think about Inspire's Wallpaper Option?

So, I'm not very happy with the wallpaper options in this phone. I understand that, it's more of HTC Sense setting, but it doesn't let me choose home or lock screen. Plus, when I choose a picture from my gallery to use as a wallpaper, the weird crop square shows up and doesn't let me use the whole picture. What's up with that? Am I missing something? What do other people think?
The wall paper is ok but, I went to the market and downloaded city at night wallpaper and its a lot better for my tastes.

You should use 960x800 sized wallpapers. You can't select the whole picture because your iPhone wallpapers or whatever are the wrong aspect. There are some good downloadable wallpapers in the HTC Hub and there are a million wallpaper apps in the market.
Your wallpaper is scrolling as you swipe left and right to different screens, that's why it's square. I just use 1920X1080 wallpapers and they look fine.

[Q] Text on your screen

Does anybody know an app that lets you place a text on your screen? I want to have each screen contain certain apps and I want to place label on top that says what category that screen is. I've found Text Widget which looks nice but it only lets me place one widget.
Zoom, by the same guys that do Tasker, will allow you to do text on a widget. They can be of different sizes and way pretty much anything you want. And, as an added benefit, you can have it do certain things (anything Tasker is capable of) whenever you tap on it. I have one, for example, that shows my battery level, day, date, and time. Tapping on different parts of it does different things.
If it is an android then use the multipicture live wallpaper and create a wallpaper for each screen.

but if he moves something on the screen, he will have to remake the wallpaper, put it on the phone and set it back...

[Q] Removing wallpaper size restriction?

Hey guys, with all the flexibility that Android OS is supposed to have, one restriction that is really aggravating me is the wallpaper size contstraint...
Is there any way to get rid of the wallpaper size restriction? My goal basically is to able to make a wallpaper as wide as the amount of screens I have so that when I go to a different screen it looks like a different wallpaper. To see what i mean, take a wallpaper and use 2 home screens only. When you switch between the two, it loads a half of the wallpaper, so if you made one picture with 2 480x800 pictures, it would look like two seperate wallpapers. What I would like to do is use 3 home screens, and a wallpaper created by using 3 480x800 pictures (1440x800), but whenever I try to set a wallpaper it forces me to crop it to a 960x800 area. Can anyone chime in on if this is at all possible?
Thanks!
I like the idea and would like to know aswell..
I think wallpaper wizardrii works.

OK. It had been a really long time since I used multi live wallpaper.
My goal was to be able to have, on my 3 screens, individual wallpapers that i compiled randomly, and use a wallpaper changer to always have a different wallpaper on each screen. Multilive does that now! Just set it for random, and eveyr hour, all 3 of my screens update with a different wallpaper. All I did was create 480x800 versions of all the wallpapers i was going to randomly combine into large wide wallpapers, throw them all into a folder, and tell multilive wallpaper to pick from there. It's pretty damn sweet. Also, if a wallpaper that I don't want to see at that time comes around double tapping the screen changes them all up again. It's great.

Worked like a camp! Running C.M. 7.1 RC1

Scrolling wallpaper fix!

Ok I was annoyed about this as much as anyone else so I did some testing. Hold your homescreen, choose live wallpapers, choose Asus Myframe, choose settings, choose select folder or album, choose select photos, choose what folder you want to choose from, pick a picture, now while still in myframe settings choose effects static, slideshow interval 1 hour or whatever and check scrolling wallpaper.
Now you have scrolling wallpapers. I know it may use a little more battery since its a live wallpaper, but hey, works for me.
Thanks for figuring that out!
Not only did it make my favorite wallpaper image scroll nicely, but uses much more of the original than my ex-Prime's cropping method did. Couldn't figure out why Infinity's screen didn't use more of it with its larger resolution, but the regular wallpaper method used much less than on the Prime, plus it didn't scroll. Now in horizontal it uses the entire height of original and almost the whole width, in vertical also uses same/entire height but of course much less of the width, and both scroll perfectly.
I don't think the ASUS MyFrame will use any more battery than if it was regular scrolling wallpaper. All it will do is refresh the same image every hour but that's negligible. Great solution to a major (if only cosmetic) issue!

Glad I could help! :victory:
This is amazing, thank you! I missed my scrolling wallpaper from the Prime
How do i make it set the whole picture without scrolling along with the android pages. I just want to use my picture i took as a solid WP.
Awesome! I really missed this feature
I've been using projectM's live wallpaper instead of the static wallpaper, but that uses more battery I'm sure. Now I can have low battery consumption females again!

Use Picspeed wallpaper for that, choose what picture you want to use, then on the dropdown menu set as and use picspeed to set the wallpaper.

[Request] Proper wallpaper app with auto-margins

Hello.
As you are aware, it is not possible to pick a wallpaper for the One S without having to fill in the left and right fields in the wallpaper picker, whereas only the center field of the actual screen resolution is used. Especially in the Jelly Bean update this is an issue, as that version doesn't even have wallpaper scrolling, therefore having to pick wallpapers with extra margin is a pain in the royal hindbody especially if the image in question isn't widescreen but rather portrait.
Is there an app to fix this behavior, e.g. to either allow for [screen resolution only] wallpaper cropping or an app that allows the same during setup, and automatically adds black borders to the left and right (since these won't be visible given the lack of scrolling wallpaper)?
I use this to apply wallpapers

Or you can change launcher to one that lets you change how you set a wallpaper.
